Torus or Tori (plural) is a benign bone growth in the mouth, and in 90% of the cases seen on both the left and right sides of the oral cavity, making it an overwhelmingly bilateral condition. Mandibular tori are asymptomatic bony exophytic growths that are present on the lingual surface of the mandible, opposite to the premolars. Although asymptomatic, it can sometimes result in complications such as interference with speech, tongue positioning, prosthetic reasons, poor oral hygiene and traumatic ulceration of mucosal surface.

“…Njegova etiologija još nije potpuno razjašnjena (1,2). Teorije o razvoju torusa palatinusa uključuju genetsku podlogu, okolišne čimbenike, pa čak i multifaktorijalnu teoriju (2,3) koja se temelji na spoju čimbenika vezanih za okluzalni stres (4). Cantin i suradnici (5) ističu da TP nastaje od tkiva u palatinalnoj suturi, a tijekom trudnoće može se pojaviti i u fetusu.…”

“…It is constituted by normal compact and cancellous bone 1 . About 12-30% of the population has TP and it is often accidentally detected in young adults and middleaged patients 2,3 .

ResumoIntrodução: Torus palatinus é um nome específico usado para identificar exostoses no palato duro ao longo da sutura palatina mediana. Apesar de não ser considerado uma condição patológica, sua presença requer atenção e conhecimento no que diz respeito ao seu tratamento. A remoção cirúrgica de exostoses é indicada quando o paciente traumatiza frequentemente a área do Torus palatinus durante a mastigação e a fala, ou quando for necessária a reabilitação da arcada dentária superior com próteses totais. Objetivo: O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar três casos de Torus palatinus e discutir os seus respectivos tratamentos. Caso clínico: O primeiro caso era de um homem leucoderma e com maxila edêntula que procurou reabilitação dentária, porém apresentou um nódulo no palato duro. O segundo caso era de uma mulher, leucoderma e de 40 anos que foi encaminhada devido ao trauma frequente na mucosa do palato durante a mastigação, insatisfação com a estética e desconforto causado pelo trauma na língua. O terceiro caso era de uma mulher de 45 anos de idade, leucoderma com uma lesão no palato e dificuldade pra engolir. Uma vez que o Torus palatinus estava prejudicando as funções fisiológicas básicas dos pacientes, todos os casos foram cirurgicamente tratados, melhorando a qualidade de vida dos mesmos. Consideração final: O dentista deve estar preparado para selecionar a técnica cirúrgica mais indicada para cada caso buscando o melhor resultado e evitando possíveis complicações.Descritores: Exostose; palato duro; diagnóstico bucal. AbstractIntroduction: Torus palatinus is a specific name to identify exostoses developed in the hard palate along the median palatine suture. Despite of not being a pathological condition, its presence requires attention and knowledge regarding its management. Surgical removal of exostoses is indicated when the patient frequently traumatizes the area of palatine torus during mastication and speech or when it is necessary for the rehabilitation of the upper arcade with complete dentures. Objective: The aim of this article is to present three cases of Torus palatinus and to discuss the management of them. Case report: In the first case, a 57-year-old Caucasian man sought oral rehabilitation of his edentulous maxilla but presented a hard nodules in the hard palate; in the second case, a 40-year-old Caucasian woman was referred for frequent trauma of palatal mucosa during mastication, aesthetic complaint, and discomfort caused by the trauma of her tongue in this area; and in the third case, a 45-year-old Caucasian woman presented with a lesion on the palate that caused difficulty swallowing. When the Torus palatinus was impairing the basic physiological functions of the patients, all cases were surgically treated, improving the patients' quality of life.Final consideration: The dentist should be properly prepared to choose the best from among the existing surgical approaches for each individual lesion in order to improve the results and avoid possible complications.
